How to Applique
First hoop your fabric and stablizer and run your first color in the list.
This is your placement
stitches for the fabric that you are going to use for the design. It can be
the fabric and color of your choice.
Next put your fabric down and
run the 2 yellow, (ie still your color choice in that they will be hidden by
satin stitches.) see picture below.
Now, do not UN_HOOP but trim
the excess fabric away from stitches. See Picutre below of trimmed.
Now you are ready to go to
the next part and color of your dress for your lady.
I put my applique in the
following order
I put my applique parts first
to the best of my ability, and then face, hands and other embroidery parts are
then embroideied, (ie, not always in the order of face and hands first, but
just embroidied parts)
Then the satin stitches are
last to go into the designs.

Thanks for the help.
I guess I always thought this type of design/project way beyond my skill level but it is really not hard to do! With a bit of practice the outcome potential is great.

Very nice and easy instructions on applique. Thanks so much for sharing it.
Thank you for the applique instructions. I have never appliqued before and my question is do you preshrink the fabric before you start?

How do you hold your different fabrics for applique? I still don’t get it. I have never done it and have quite a few of applique designs that I would like to try. Could somebody give me some detailed info? Just think that you are doing for dummies. That is how I feel! How big do you cut the fabric? Etc , etc. Thanks. Vilma
Thanks for the instructions, you made it easy to understand, looking forward to appliquing.
